Whitehall...Flagler's home he built for his bride, Mary Lily in 1900...
it is a beautiful museum of his life and times in early Florida...

Town zoning officials asked Trump to adhere to town zoning codes that limit flagpoles to a height of 42'. Trump had contemporaneously installed oversize flags at all his resorts and golf club around the country . This dispute led the town council of Palm Beach to charge Trump $1,250 for every day the flag at Mar-A-Lago remains. Trump has filed a lawsuit stating that the flag is protected by his constitutional rights.
The flag pole incident has since then been quietly resolved. The six-month stand-off ended as town officials agreed to a settlement that will lower the banner 10 feet and move it away from the ocean. All fines will be dropped and Trump will contribute $100,000 to various charities for Iraq War veterans, the American flag or veterans' hospitals. Trump will also drop a $25 million lawsuit against the town.

This was a dear lady named 'Mama'....what a delight !
Her daughter owns a Worth Avenue 'designers' Consignment Shop
called Avenue Revue which Sally and I visited...
"Mama had the most wonderful sense of humor, was quick witted and
folksy while doing her crossword puzzles...she did say that she 'sometimes cheats'
